💧 Plumbing Fix & Maker Fund: Turning Leaks into Loops 🧶

Sometimes life gives you lemons… and sometimes it gives you a toilet that decides to become a water feature.

Yep — my old double-wide finally gave me a surprise I didn’t see coming. One minute, I’m crocheting peacefully. The next, I’m standing in my bathroom wondering if I should name the new indoor fountain Old Faithful Jr.

But here’s the thing: I’m not just patching leaks. I’m rebuilding dreams.

This little plumbing disaster reminded me how much I want to make things — to fix, create, and build a more intentional space for the life Tony and I are carving out. Something smaller, sunnier, full of windows and cozy corners. Somewhere with a breakfast nook, a good kitchen, and a laundry space that doesn’t look like it survived a horror movie.

So, while the pipes gurgle, I’m rolling up my sleeves — not just with a wrench, but with a brand-new Creality Ender 3 V3 SE 3D printer. It’s from the official Creality Amazon Store, so if you’re curious about 3D printing, you can browse their models and find the one that fits your own creative goals. My plan? To launch a new wave of products that blend my love of fiber arts, design, and making. Think:

✨ Yarn and crochet tools
✨ Whimsical stitch markers
✨ Cozy home accessories
✨ Seasonal goodies that make you smile

This “Plumbing Fix & Maker Fund” is my bridge between chaos and creativity — the nudge to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.

If you’ve ever smiled at one of my crochet posts, followed along with a spooky-season project, or just enjoyed the cozy corners of my creative mess, I’d be so grateful if you’d consider tossing a little support into the pot (or the toolbox).

Every dollar helps keep the dream (and plumbing) flowing — one fix, one print, and one creation at a time.

Thanks for being here through all the leaks, loops, and laughter. 💛
